What Ambergris Is,

The blue shark, the ground shark, the
mackerel shark, the living-tail shark, $50
called because its tail resembles the tail
of the snake in living long after the body
has been killed., and the shark that bears
the somewhat blood-chilling title of
man-cater shark, all have oils that are
valuable. From the whales are derived
a great many oils, among Others, the
Crampus whale oil, the humpback, the
white whale, the fneback, the bow
head, caught only in the Arctic Ocean,
the cowtish, the blackfsh, and last, but
by no means least, the famous sperm
whale oil. This last oil is the most
valuable one in the market with the ex-
ception of an oil that is also from the
whale, which is rarely caught, but
which, when caught, is one of the very,
very few things in the world, that is
literally worth more than its weight
in gold. This rare treasure is
called ambergris, and is found only in
the livers of diseased whales. When a
whale suffers from constipation there is
formed around his liver certain fatty
substance called ambergris, and which,
when taken out, makes the most delight
full perfume imaginable. ut seems
strange, at first almost laughable, to say
this, but it is true" says an expert in
the Boston Herald. 'All the ingenuity
of man has not been able to invent a
perfume that has an odor so perfectly
delicious as q whales ambcrgris. AS it
can be found only in diseased whale it
is of course very rare, and therefore enor-
mously expensive. 1t is great favoritc
with our ladies, but only the very
richest can afford to buy it in its pure
and unauulterated state, and very few
probably among these, when they go to
a ballroom so deiciously scented, know
that they are carrying around with them
the liver fat of diseased whale"

Training an EIenhnnf.

The education Of the elephant would
be very easy but for his cumbersome
weight, which forces the trainer to have
recourse to cruel means. For instance,
to make him raise and hold out his foot,
an iron ring With sharp points is placed
on it, and, being drawn by q rope, the
points enter the flesh. The elephant,
feeling the pain, lifts up his foot and
keeps it in the air till the pain ceases.
Aftera few repetitions he remembers the
pain, and at the sight of the iron raises
his foot. His instruction, thanks to his
intelligence, is soon completed. Some
elephants, in less than fortnight, are
taught to play on a drum, work a tri-
cycle and beg on thor hind legs.

PARIS, January 13.-Floquet, on as
Stunning the chair of the President, in
the Chamber of Deputies to-day, said
he hoped to see concord, and that a
spirit of compromise would prevail
among the members of the Chamber,
who, he hoped, would all be animated
by patriotic emulation to work for the
progress of national institutions, in the
first rank of which government placed
the army. This declaration was re-
ceived with applause. Continuing, Flo
quet said when without distinction of
party we follow with equal solicitude
the earnest efforts of the valiant youth
of France, and when with unanimous
impulse we accept every sacrifice to in
crease our country's power, we do not
feel agitated by feverish Impotence or
desire; only with tranquil persevering
will we place ourselves in a position TO
fulfill all our duties, and secure for
France the respect of all. The essential
condition of that is peace, which we
prize as high as anybody in the world.
Prolonged applause.)

House who represented TO him the dis

The situation in connection with the

respect st. James Gazette says: cit can

Repun Again,

BosToN, January 12.-District At
torney Stearns, on behalf of government
to-day, filed in the United States Court
bill of complaint of the United States
against the American Bell Telephone
Company, and Alexander Graham Bell
The bill is essentially the same as the
one dismissed from the Ohio Circuit
Court of the United States on the
ground of lack OF jurisdiction. The bill
sets forth at great length the reasons
why government charges that the
patents were fraudulently issued, the
allegations being precisely the same as
were contained in the Columbus bill.
The only additional allegation of con-
sequence is that Professor Bell failed to
comply with the regulations of the
Patent Office requiring the patentee to
file the wo king model of his invention.
